Can you repair weapons in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?

Sadly, you can't repair weapons in Zelda Tears of Kingdom. Once a sword or other piece of equipment is broken, you can't fix it back to its original condition. However, there is one caveat that will keep fans happy.

Just like how Breath of the Wild allowed you to experiment with crafting, Tears of the Kingdom’s Fuse tool offers intuitive ways to make use of your weapons, meaning you shouldn't need to worry about repairs.

You can create all kinds of weapons by attaching materials to your existing weapons. For example, you can create a spear by combining a pitchfork and a long branch. You can even combine a rock with a branch and make a makeshift hammer.
